UPDATE: Wetlands & Stewardship Project
The Wetlands & Stewardship Project is an ongoing community effort spearheaded by the Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association (DNDA) to acquire, restore and protect the natural wetlands located at 23rd Avenue SW & SW Findlay Street in West Seattle. The project has picked up momentum through this summer season with passionate volunteers and our friends at Nature Consortium joining in our efforts.
Over two days in July, twelve members of the community helped to remove invasive species from the border of the wetlands site, clearing 1,311 sq. ft. of Himalayan Blackberry, English Ivy and Nightshade. The volunteers also removed trash that was found throughout the site. The space that is cleared will be replanted this Fall with native species that will create a healthier, more dynamic wetlands buffer!
Visit us here, as well as on Facebook and Twitter for updates on this project, as well as our other DNDA programs. If you are interested in volunteering, or becoming a Wetlands Steward, contact Director of Housing and Environmental Programs, Willard Brown.
